Yeah you're right, I think its just my wishful thinking that silverstone somehow turned into the color of titanium silver.

I just don't understand why they wont offer titanium silver in the US. BMW pulled the same move with the 4.8is and the gunmetal color (I'm still pissed about that).

If I had to guess. I would say that titanium has been such a popular color for BMW for so long that they decided to roll out the ///M cars with a more "exclusive" palette.

But that's just a guess.

I saw the Monte Carlo blue in person at the M driving event (refer to my pictures earlier in this thread:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...tml#post627651


The blue is very reflective, almost like a chrome blue. All the other blue colors I've seen don't have this much reflectivity. The color shade is very similar to LeMans blue.

Oh, thanks for the link. Those are some great shots of the Monte Carlo Blue. Maybe I'll just stick with the Monte Carlo Blue.

Is the rear privacy glass standard on the X5M? If it is, it's hardly tinted at all from what I saw.
